Ummmm....Okay. Very Gruesome.
Overview:
I have only watched the first half of Nakee and skipped to the ending because it was so long and draggy. However, my sister said I should definitely try watching Nakee 2 since it's short and sweet. It wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be, but it wasn't as bad either. But here is my opinion about it.
Story:
Story-wise, it was okay. The majority of it was very predictable and there were clues everywhere. However, the main no-no for me was how bloody the drama was. I watched it with an empty stomach in the morning, yet I still felt very nauseous. I closed my eyes whenever dead bodies were shown so I can't tell much about how gruesome they were, so watch at your own risk. The romance between Nadeech and Yaya wasn't really there since it focused on the plot and conflict the majority of the time, but I don't really have a complaint with that either. The end of the drama does give us closure from Nakee so I would say I'm satisfied with the ending, although you don't get a lot of scenes with Ken and Taew.
Acting/Cast:
We already knew that Yaya was a natural beauty, but this drama definitely shined a light on it. She played the role perfectly and expressed her emotions very well. Nadech wasn't as naughty and playful as his previous roles were. It showed a lot more of his mature and serious side compared to his playful side. Ken and Taew's acting is still as good as always. The cast was just perfect and the acting was on point.

Okay, let's give a moment of silence to this wonderful masterful sang by Kong Huayrai. I FREAKING LOVE THAT MAN AND HIS ANGELICAL VOICE! I also found Nakee because of this song, otherwise, I would have overlooked the drama and this movie. This is probably my favorite Thai drama OST by far. The lyrics match the storyline perfectly and Kong's voice is so beautiful to listen to. I was sad it was only played once in the movie, but the timing for it was perfect. He needs to sing more Thai OST's because his voice is just so perfect!
Rewatch Value:
I wouldn't rewatch this movie often just due to my weak stomach seeing all of those bloody scenes. Maybe once in a long while, but I feel like it's a one-time thing for me. I need something more light and fluffy after watching this. If you're a hardcore romantic drama watcher like me, you'll feel the same way. But if you are someone who enjoys thrillers and mystery you'll like this more than us romcom peps.
Overall:
It would have missed this drama and movie if it wasn't due to the OST. This was something I usually wouldn't watch just because it falls under the mystery genre. However, it wasn't too bad of an experience.
